Let's Build

Marketing Mentoring

for Decorators & Stagers

Turn your decorating talent into a real, profitable business, with practical marketing strategies, clear direction, and guidance from someone who has actually done it.

Does this sound familiar?

You have the talent, but getting clients...

now that's another story.

Most decorators aren't missing talent, in fact, the talent is what drives them. But where most trip up is forgetting to put on that entrepreneur's hat. Very few take the time to create a clear plan for turning that talent into a profitable business.

If you've ever caught yourself thinking any of the following...you need a mentor that knows what it takes to succeed.

  • I know I'm talented, but I don't know how to get clients.

  • I'm posting on social media but nothing is happening.

  • I don't know what to charge — or how to position myself.

  • I feel stuck somewhere between hobby and business.

  • That mentor should be me! What are you waiting for?

Why Work with JoAnne

A Mentor, not just a Coach

There are a lot of decorating business coaches out there , but most of them have never built a decorating or staging business themselves. They don't understand that most creatives are inherently shy and marketing can be a huge stumbling block.

I bring something different, decades of real industry experience, not generic marketing theory. I understand how decorating actually works, what clients expect, and how to turn your talent into something fun and profitable.

When I began my business 40+ years ago, I had no business being in business. I only knew I loved decorating. After a few years of stagnating, I realized that the only person who could help me ...was me! There were no coaches, mentors, caring peers...it was all up to me.

That led to my love of marketing and business, that I want to share with you.

"It takes more than talent. But once you have the right plan, the talent you already have is more than enough."
